To hear the effect of the Filter Envelope:
1. Press the global button and use Soft Knob 1 to navigate to the basic
program command, then press Soft Button 1 (write now).
2. Press the low-pass 1 button to select this lter type.
3. Hold down a note and rotate the lter’s cutoff knob to set it to
a value of 40 (refer to the main display to see its numeric value).
4. Play a note. At this point you may not hear anything because you’ve
closed the lter signicantly.
5. In the Envelopes section, turn the Filter Envelope’s amount knob to a
value of 50 (refer to the main display to see its numeric value).
6. Play a note. Notice how the sound has changed. The Filter Envelope is
controlling lter cutoff by the amount you set with the amount knob.
7. Repeatedly strike a note on the keyboard as you turn the Filter Enve-
lope’s decay knob clockwise and counterclockwise. Notice how it
changes the sound as the note decays faster or slower after its initial
attack stage.
8. Now experiment with the Filter Envelope’s attack knob. Notice how
the attack becomes faster or slower.
9. Now hold down a note and experiment with the Filter Envelope’s
sustain knob. This controls how wide the lter stays open while you
hold down a key on the keyboard.
10. The Filter Envelope’s release parameter acts in conjunction with the
Amplier Envelope, so to hear its effect, rst set the Amp Envelope’s
release value to 75.
11. Now repeatedly strike a note on the keyboard as you turn the Filter
Envelope’s release knob clockwise and counterclockwise. Notice how
the note fades out faster or slower as you change the release value.
12. Continue experimenting with various Filter Envelope settings while
you adjust the Filter Envelope’s env amount knob. Notice how greater
amount settings amplify the effect of the envelope on the lter.
As noted above, the Filter Envelope and Amplier Envelope often work
in conjunction, with the Filter Envelope controlling how the lter opens
and closes and the Amplier Envelope controlling how the Amplier
controls the overall volume shape of the sounds you create. To learn
more about the Amplier Envelope, see page 35.
